Lieberman lost Democrat nomination, wins White House support...

'Karl Rove, a close advisor to the President, has expressed interest in assisting Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman in retaining his seat, despite a loss in the Democratic Primary last night, ABC News has reported.'

Yesterday Lieberman lost the Democratic Primary in Connecticut. Today he has President Bush backing him for his election bid to the Senate as Independent! Isn't this enough proof that Lieberman did not stand for Democratic voters in the Senate?

Now it looks like the Conneticut Democrats will split between their official candidate, Ned Lamont, and Lieberman, who will benefit from a likely dropout of the GOP candidate. In the end he might keep his seat, but this sure is a sign that Democratic national leaders have to start showing they are truly opposed to the Bush White House.

Of course the reaction of the GOP was to paint the Democratic Party as 'extreme leftists', as they do every time they can, as so to scare voters. I am preety sure this strategy will not have any effect, as we will hopefully confirm next November.

"It's a defining moment for the Democratic Party, whose national leaders now have made it clear that if you disagree with the extreme left in their party they're going to come after you." (Tony Snow)

Well Mr Snow, it was not the leaders but else the voters that have shown they will come after whoever agrees with the President on such things such as staying in Iraq indefenitely. That's what the Democratic Party needs to do in order to win the elections of 06 and 08! Bipartisanship talk was great for the GOP because people thought all along that Democratics didn't know what do to differently.

Please starting saying what's the difference for once!

For now, the fact that the Democratic leadership, starting with Hillary Clinton (also facing a though challenger in NY, but will still win easily) is backing Lamont is a sign that they are learning the lesson from yesterday's primary.
